Green buildings address sustainability issues on a building level. By taking into account all impacts in their life cycle – materials, energy consumption, water usage and waste disposal – green buildings advocate principles which reduce negative impact and maximize cost-efficiency. Examples include using recycled, reused, biodegradable or carbon-storing materials and employing landscape designs that reduce…

TOD involves developing compact, walkable neighborhoods near public transit stations that combine housing with jobs centered around high-quality public spaces. TOD allows people to live and work close by, cutting commute times while decreasing car usage. TOD fosters equitable development with protections in place to safeguard low income residents against rising property values and displacement.…
